7 Step Process – Installing an Animal Barrier Around a Deck

In this video we walk you through the seven-step process for installing an animal barrier to protect a deck and home from rodents, specifically detailing the methods used by Mice Hunters. Here are the steps to keep rodents and animals out from under your deck and out of your life forever!

Step 1: Removal of Old Lattice Work

First up, we rip out the old lattice around your deck. It’s probably as effective as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to keeping out rodents and animals. If you have animals under your deck, chances are they’ve chewed your current lattice. Let’s get rid of that, shall we?

Step 2: Dig a Trench for the Animal Barrier

We dig a trench that allows us to bury our animal trench down 12″ inches down. The mesh is fashioned in the shape of a “J”. This assures that the animals can dig down, but never around the underground animal barrier.

Step 3: Installation of a Dual-Layered Wire Mesh Barrier

Mice Hunters install a robust barrier consisting of two layers of galvanized wire mesh, one with half-inch openings and the other with quarter-inch openings. This barrier is designed to be functional and aesthetically pleasing, remaining hidden from view. As a preventative measure, the wire mesh barrier is extended and buried twelve inches deep into the ground. This step is designed to thwart even the most persistent burrowers from digging their way into the area.

Step 4: Sealing the Barrier Around the Deck

It’s not just about replacing the lattice but also ensuring that it is sealed perfectly around the deck. This step is crucial to prevent animals like possums and mice from re-entering their old habitats beneath the deck and, importantly, getting inside the home.

Step 5: Securing Potential Entry Points in the House’s Infrastructure

Mice Hunters conducts a thorough inspection of the house to identify and secure potential entry points for pests, such as utility cutouts or obsolete vents.

Step 6: Installation of New Lattice

After the security measures are in place, the new lattice is installed. This step is not only for visual appeal but also signifies enhanced security and assurance against rodent intrusion.

Step 7: Guaranteeing a 100% Rodent Free Environment

Mice Hunters offers a guarantee that their methods will ensure the home and its surroundings remain free from rodents, providing peace of mind to the homeowners.

These steps combine to create a comprehensive solution for rodent-proofing a deck and home, emphasizing both functionality and aesthetics.

Innovative Deck Sealing and Animal Exclusion

Pest control starts from the ground up, and securing the space beneath your deck is a key line of defense. With issues like possums beneath decks and woodpeckers damaging sidings, it’s vital to implement effective rodent removal services.

This school teacher and Buffalo Grove, IL homeowner may have a few “teachers’ pets”, but when mice invaded her home and a skunk decided to befriend her by living under her bay window, she was referred to us by a rodent extermination company!

Mice Hunters was on the scene for this home mice sealing job. Unfortunately, the homeowner had a skunk living under her bay window. It was able to breach small areas in between the window and cement. With the skunk, came the wonderful aroma of … itself!  Plus it was leaving behind feces, which nobody likes.

In addition to the skunk, there were mice living in the home. Before it got cold outside, and even more mice entered the home, we were able to seal the home and keep these malicious little mice out of her home.
